FOWLER, in presenting to the public the Tenth Edition of the Directory, returns his sincere thanks to those who have supported the "Work since its commencement. The Publisher has now been long aware, that in accuracy of de- tails and distinctness of arrangement the chief value of such a work consists ; for these reasons, he has in this, as in his former publications of the Work, both for the Town and County, spared neither labour nor expense in securing these. The Lists and Tables inserted in the appendixes will be found of the most useful description, and suitable not only to the Merchant and Trader, but to the Public generally—a Directory being not only a use- ful, but a highly necessary repository for enabling a commercial people to become acquainted with each other. The Public are respectfully requested, when Removals and change of Firms take place, to send early notice to the Publisher, that the Lists may be made up by the 1st of May ; —the Managers of those Institutions and Societies who wish them inserted in the Directory, will please send notice thereof to the Publisher, (for form see Direc- tory.) Such notices require to be accurate, as they are inserted VERBA TIM. As much delay and unnecessary trouble has been occasioned by Societies and other public bodies not giving in their lists, the Publisher intimates, that UNLESS the same be regularly forwarded, he will not be accountable for OMISSIONS. All Communications, post-paid, will be duly attended to. if^T Orders Received for every New Periodical Publication. Directory Office, 57, Canal Street, Paisley, 1841. BILXa CARD. 1841-42. 1841. JULY.
